Anyone have a strong recommendation for a stovetop, cast iron grill? Looking at Amazon and price varies. Looking for the best value, seasoned well, etc. Anyone on FDB have a solid brand to recommend?

TIA

I bought a Rocky Mountain Cookware griddle a few years ago from a recommendation on this board. I use it weekly on top of my gas range.

It's not cast iron nor a grill, but I use the shite out of it for breakfast and sometimes burgers, fajitas etc.

Every day is a lot. What all do you cook on it so often?

everything...its just a big carbon steel pan.
anything that needs a sear or would be cooked in a frying pan

I do like cast iron for a griddle. I finally bought a piece of Finex. It's a bit pricey and it is heavy. But I use it about once a week (also in my grill for searing).

Finex Cast Iron

best value
While not as high quality. The Walmart Ozark Trail one in the camping department is under $10 Felt like I was stealing.

Is it pre-seasoned?

Advantages of carbon steel over cast iron for a griddle?

Also looking at that Rocky mountain link it's hard to tell what the difference really is. I guess thickness of the steel? Is there that considerable difference? Any concerns with warping when rapidly heated?
